ROCKIN' THE PAST, EMBRACING THE FUTURE: Porter's Tanker Coyote 90th Anniversary Collection
Porter Marks Nine Decades with Launch of Eco-Friendly Tanker Bags Crafted from Vegetation
Step back into the '60s, when Yoshida & Co., a pioneering Japanese bag-maker, decided to shake things up with their Porter private label. Fast-forward to today, they're celebrating their 90th anniversary with a Big-League bash - a limited-edition Tanker bag line, paying homage to their roots while striding towards a sustainable future.
Porter's Tanker series has been an unstoppable force in the world of bags since 1983. The iconic silhouette, inspired by MA-1 flight jackets, never fails to grab attention. For this anniversary collection, the brand has embraced its recently adopted mantra, "NOTHING CHANGES, EVERYTHING CHANGES," with a groundbreaking innovation in materials.
Say hello to seven new Tanker bags, all boasting a green and clean eco-friendly approach. Bye-bye to the traditional petroleum-based nylon; hello to a 100% plant-based version! The Coyote line also sports a taffeta lining inside. This marks a monumental shift in Yoshida & Co.'s production philosophy, making them the first to successfully mass-produce eco-friendly bags. Let's hope this move inspires the competition to follow suit.
COYOTE CALLING CARDS
Despite the Tanker's new outfit, the bags still ooze rugged durability meets sleek sheen that's been their secret weapon for years. The "Coyote" colorway lends a sophisticated neutral shade. It's a nod to desert tactical gear, but with a refined urban cool vibe. Embrace EDC culture with this desert-inspired goodie that doesn't skimp on style. The Tanker's military heritage takes a backseat to the silky brown tones, but the fabric's luster still shines through. Rest easy knowing these bags are as rugged as ever.
Limited to 300 units per style, the collection covers every carry scenario you can think of: a Daypack, Helmet Bag, Square Tote, Sling Bag, Roll Bag, Hip Bag, and Envelope Bag. Special edition details include unique serial numbers and different "Traveling Map" interior patterns for each bag.
COLLECTOR'S DELIGHT
The brand has decked out the hardware and branding details in special treatment, plus each style comes packed with a dedicated drawstring bag featuring a 90th-anniversary tag. These high-quality EDC bags certainly have the utility factor, but the Coyote range doubles as solid collector's pieces honoring a bona fide legend in the bag world.
